For a major change of scenery, follow this path into the depths of the Allegheny National Forest. The Longhouse Byway is actually an access road for recreational activities like camping, fishing, and hiking near Lansdale, but it makes for an amazing road trip in its own right. As befits a scenic route, the Longhouse byway’s meandering curves force you to go slow, roll down your windows, and enjoy the breeze.
If postcard-perfect views of country farmland are more your speed, try a drive through the Delaware River Valley — one of the most popular scenic drives Pennsylvania has to offer. Stretching between Easton and Mount Bethel, this 19-mile route passes through historic riverside towns and serene stretches of fertile farmland. If you’re looking for a bigger adventure, make a stop at the 7-mile Tekening hiking trail for cliffside photo ops and bass fishing.
Of all the scenic drives in Pennsylvania, High Plateau might be the biggest crowd-pleaser. Wildlife enthusiasts often visit here to spot bear, deer, and elk. Trails along the Allegheny Ridge, Two Run Rock Vista and Fish Dam Run Scenic View are a goldmine for photographers, and the adventurous among us should head for the Chuck Keiper wetland hiking trail. Or visit the Old St. Severins Church near Snow Shoe — an amazing piece of history built by Benedictine monks in 1851.
Lauded by National Geographic as “one of America’s most scenic drives,” this high-elevation stretch of Highway 6 is known for spectacular views of Susquehanna River and the Endless Mountains. Before you set off from Tunkhannock, we recommend setting aside some time to hike and bird watch in the mountains at Riverside Park. It’ll take more than one trip to fully appreciate this 38-mile scenic drive in Pennsylvania cliff country.
